As the days grow cooler, it can become more and more difficult to find the motivation to get out of bed in the morning, much less put together a perfectly polished #ootd. Some days, you just have to admit defeat, put on that groutfit and head to class. But I would say, more often than not, a lot of us end up somewhere stylistically in the middle. We bridge that fashion conscientious gap by mixing staple pieces that combine a classic look with delicate or worn, perceptibly more comfortable, fabrics. Outfits like this not only provide that ever-important, comfort factor but also gives off a “too cool for school” confidence.
This Fashionista gave the “cozy-chic” style a Parisian twist with her interpretation in this look. Her T-shirt has that classic, comfortable feel while the graphics evoke a sense of quaint, French elegance. T-shirts are such a versatile piece in any wardrobe. They are made in nearly every color and pattern imaginable and can be worn throughout all levels of dress. Because of their simplicity, when worn as a main piece in an outfit, T-shirts can create a relaxed vibe. Their ability to be layered under other pieces also allows for more formal items, such as a blazer, to be worn on top without seeming glaringly out of place. T-shirts are often pretty cheap too, so if you’re feeling like your wardrobe could use a little pick me up, try adding a couple new colored or patterned T-shirts and see how they can help maximize your closet.
Denim on denim has been one of the biggest trends of the last couple of years and our Fashionista obviously took it to heart in her look. In my opinion, wearing denim, or any matching pieces on top and bottom, adds a level of formality to an outfit. There’s something about having that visual flow that creates a greater sense of confidence. Of course, there are many washes and styles of denim so you wouldn’t have to match both pieces if you so choose, but this is definitely a style worth giving a try.
Accessories can really add a sense of personality to an outfit. This Fashionista accessorized with a printed headscarf and a denim backpack with Converse sneakers rounding out her look. The headscarf not only pulls out the colors of the shirt but also echoes the Parisian images in her shirt because of the painted, splatter-like pattern it has. Converse sneakers are also the ultimate comfy day shoe. Like T-shirts, Converse too come in all different colors, designs and patterns. The black color of the Fashionista’s Converse adds to the classic vibe of the outfit.
So next time you’re struggling to style an outfit for class, remember this Fashionista’s look and use it to help inspire your own classy and comfy look.
